What is Hott Shott?

Hott Shott is a court game that requires concentration and practice. It can be played by all ages, indoors or outdoors, individually or as a team. Hott Shott uses a unique "frisbee type" disc tossed into catching target. A series of shots (tosses) are made from five different stations at the catching target. Each station is 5 feet in distance from the previous station, starting with Red at five feet from the target.

Where is Hott Shott played?

o Hott Shott is a portable and versatile game that can be played almost anywhere: beach trips, family reunions, neighborhood play, school recess, church or scout outings, senior citizen rec rooms, you name it!

o Ages 8 to 80 - Fun for all, both young and old.
o Individuals and teams

How do you play?

o Begin at the 5 point station and throw each disc at the target one at a time. Continue through each station until all 25 discs have been thrown to complete the first inning of the round. A round is the total of two innings.

How do you score?

o Record the number of discs in the target of each color and multiply that number by each color value.
o Making all discs of any color results in a bonus equal to the value of that color’s disc.
o Making all 25 discs results in a perfect inning bonus of 50 points.
o A perfect inning score, consisting of all 25 discs, all color bonuses, and the inning bonus, is 525 points.
o Add the two inning scores to determine the round score.
o A perfect round of 1,050 points would be making all 25 discs in both innings. less
